The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW:

Non-Title: Champ vs. Champ: WWE Universal Champ Brock Lesnar vs. WWE IC Champ Dean Ambrose
The main event of tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW will see a Champion versus Champion match as the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will take on the WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose. This will be a non-title match so neither title will be on the line. The Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero has certainly awarded the WWE Universe with a great main event tonight and the unpredictable Dean Ambrose will no doubt do all he can to try to pick up the all-important victory over the “Beast” Brock Lesnar, who may or may not have his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn at his side. At the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View later this month Brock Lesnar will put his WWE Universal Championship on the line against Roman Reigns whilst Ambrose will compete in the RAW Money in the Bank ladder match.

Batista versus Kassius Ohno
Tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW will also feature the return of Batista as he will take on Kassius Ohno. Batista is a Band Member and hasn’t been seen on RAW since May as he has apparently been touring with his band.

CM Punk versus Curt Hawkins
Another former World Champion, CM Punk, will also make his in-ring return to Monday Night RAW tonight to take on Curt Hawkins. CM Punk is a Clubber and although he doesn’t drink he has apparently been on the party scene since his last match on RAW back in May.

WWE Divas Champion Bayley and Alexa Bliss versus Raquel Diaz and Audrey Marie
Finally, Divas tag team action tonight on Monday Night RAW will see the WWE Diva Champion Bayley team up with Alexa Bliss to take on the team of Raquel Diaz and Audrey Marie. Last week on RAW Raquel Diaz, the daughter of the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero, attacked Bayley following her victory over Sexy Star only for the former Divas Champion Sasha Banks to make the save.

Pre-Show: Nikki Bella versus Beth Phoenix
In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Nikki Bella defeated Beth Phoenix in 18:17 by pinfall with a Twin Magic. Nikki Bella and Beth Phoenix just don’t click at all as opponents, and unfortunately it showed in their respective performances here. Ultimately it was Nikki Bella who picked up the all-important victory here but in controversial fashion as whilst Beth Phoenix was complaining to the referee following a two count, Brie Bella switched places with her sister Nikki before rolling Beth Phoenix up to get the win.Match Rating: E-

Pre-Show: Brodus Clay and Alex Riley versus Jack Swagger and Tensai
In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Swagger & Tensai defeated Brodus & Riley in 18:25 when Tensai defeated Brodus Clay by pinfall with a Swagger Bomb. Tensai was visibly tiring towards the end of this match which led to the much younger and smaller Jack Swagger doing most of the heavy lifting for his team including coming into the ring and hitting Brodus Clay with an incredible Swagger bomb before Tensai crawled in to get the pinfall victory.
Match Rating: C-

Pre-Show: Rob Van Dam versus Kenny King
In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Rob Van Dam defeated Kenny King in 18:26 by pinfall with a Five Star Frog Splash.

Lesnar says that his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn isn’t with him tonight because he has some things to get off his chest again. Lesnar says that at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View later this month he will beat Roman Reigns to retain the Universal title. Lesnar continues by saying that he’s grateful that the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero has put him in a non-title Champion versus Champion match with Dean Ambrose tonight, as not only is Ambrose the reigning Intercontinental Champion but he’s also a former United States Champion and exactly the kind of competition that Brock wants. Alberto Del Rio then joins Lesnar in the ring and once again tells Brock that Del Rio will win the RAW Money in the Bank ladder match and go on to become the new WWE Universal Champion. As Lesnar and Del Rio stare one another down Roman Reigns and William Regal come to the entrance-way, and Regal has a microphone in hand. Regal says that all three Shield members will be holding onto something by the time Money in the Bank comes to a close.Rating: C

WWE Divas Champion Bayley and Alexa Bliss versus Raquel Diaz and Audrey Marie
In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Bayley and Alexa Bliss defeated Raquel Diaz and Audrey Marie in 6:22 when Alexa Bliss defeated Audrey Marie by pinfall.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live:

Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville versus Tajiri
Last week’s episode of WWE 205 Live began with Ricardo Rodriguez in the ring introducing his clients to the WWE Universe, and the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and his British Ambition tag team partner Oliver Grey made their way to the ring. Adrian Neville demanded to know who his first challenger would be, and demanded to know the answer from the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle by the end of the evening. In last week’s 205 Live main event, Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey defeated the team of Tajiri and TJ Perkins. Whilst celebrating their victory with Rodriguez in the ring, Neville and Grey would be interrupted by the General Manager Hornswoggle who came to the entrance-way and announced that Neville will put the Cruiserweight Championship on the line at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View later this month against the former multiple-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio. Whilst Adrian Neville must be looking forward to Rey Mysterio and Money in the Bank, Neville must first take on Tajiri in singles competition in tonight’s non-title main event. Although Neville was able to pin Tajiri in last week’s tag team main event, the Martial Artist Tajiri will be doing all he can to knock out Neville and pick up the all-important victory against Neville tonight which could lead to Tajiri getting a future title opportunity somewhere down the line. Adrian Neville showed last week just how Cocky he is and he will likely be confident that he can beat Tajiri tonight as well as overcome Rey Mysterio at Money in the Bank to remain the WWE Cruiserweight Champion.

Rich Swann versus Simon Gotch
Rich Swann will be back in action tonight on 205 Live as he will take on the debuting Simon Gotch. Not much is known about Simon Gotch, although he did compete inside the NXT Arena last month under the name Ryan Drago in a loss to Steven Walters at NXT’s Passing the Torch live special. Simon Gotch failed to impress the NXT Universe last month and will be hoping for much more luck tonight against the impressive Rich Swann.

TJ Perkins versus Noam Dar
Finally, another WWE 205 Live debut will take place tonight as Noam Dar, Israeli by birth but having been brought up in Scotland, will take on TJ Perkins. Both of these Superstars will be doing all they can to impress the WWE Universe tonight as well as the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle. TJ Perkins has certainly become a Fan Favourite in his short time on 205 Live and just last week teamed up with one of his idols Tajiri in the evening’s main event as the pair lost to the Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey.

Pre-Show: Chad Gable versus Primo
In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Chad Gable defeated Primo in 18:23 by submission. Unfortunately Chad Gable and Primo don’t seem to click as opponents and it made for an awkward bout here. Nevertheless, Chad Gable was still able to pick up the all-important victory here after the former Olympian forced the former WWE Tag Team Champion Primo to tap out. The WWE Universe continue to be impressed by Chad Gable.Match Rating: E+

Tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live kicks off with the 205 Live commentary team of Scott Stanford, John “Bradshaw” Layfield and the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman welcoming the live television audience to this evening’s show and noting that tonight’s main event will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville in non-title action against Tajiri. Ricardo Rodriguez then makes his way to the ring to a chorus of boos from the WWE Universe in attendance. Rodriguez takes a microphone from the ringside area and says that he would like to introduce his clients, the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and the man chiseled of pure stone, Oliver Grey, collectively known as British Ambition. The British Ambition pairing of Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey then come to the ring and Rodriguez hands his client Neville the microphone. Neville says that as the Cruiserweight Champion and King of the Cruiserweights he is pleased to welcome the peasants in attendance to his show, and reminds the WWE Universe in attendance that they paid their hard earned money to watch Neville. The Cruiserweight Champion continues by saying that in tonight’s non-title main event he will beat Tajiri, a former Cruiserweight Champion and proving that a new era of the Cruiserweights is here. Neville then notes how last week the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle announce that Neville will put his Cruiserweight Championship on the line against Rey Mysterio at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View later this month. Neville says that he doesn’t care how many titles Rey Mysterio has won in the past or how many years he has been competing on Monday Night RAW or Friday Night SmackDown. Neville says that this is a different era and just like Tajiri tonight, Rey Mysterio will learn to bow down to the King of the Cruiserweights and the star of the new era of Cruiserweights, Adrian Neville. The trio of Adrian Neville, Oliver Grey and Ricardo Rodriguez then head to the back as 205 Live cuts to its first commercial break of the evening.Rating: E

TJ Perkins versus Noam Dar
In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, TJ Perkins defeated Noam Dar in 9:33 by pinfall with a Jumping Neckbreaker. Following the commercial break the 205 Live commentary team of Scott Stanford, John “Bradshaw” Layfield and Billy Kidman welcome us back and we are set for in-ring action. TJ Perkins then makes his way to the ring to a great reception from the WWE Universe in attendance, followed by the debuting Noam Dar who gets a largely negative reaction from those in attendance. Unfortunately this match was too long given who was involved with the WWE Universe knowing nothing about Noam Dar yet with this being his debut match. In a back and forth contest, TJ Perkins eventually gets the victory here after hitting an impressive looking Jumping Neckbreaker as the commentary team note that the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle must surely have been impressed with Perkins’ performance tonight.Match Rating: E+

Following another commercial break we cut backstage to find Tajiri preparing for tonight’s 205 Live non-title main event against the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville when Chad Gable walks into the room. Chad Gable tells Tajiri that he as well as the rest of the WWE Universe saw TJ Perkins team with Tajiri last week and now TJ Perkins just won a match. Chad Gable says that he too would like the opportunity to team up with the former Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri, and suggests that next week Gable and Tajiri team up to take on British Ambition. Tajiri says he’ll think about it as we cut to a commercial break.Rating: E+

Rich Swann versus Simon Gotch
In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Rich Swann defeated Simon Gotch in 7:54 by pinfall with a Chicken Fried Driver. Simon Gotch was making his 205 Live debut tonight and spent the majority of the match trying to impress John “Bradshaw” Layfield by mimicking JBL’s move set and mimicking his gestures. Simon Gotch seemed like he was auditioning for the role of Sidekick to JBL which ended up costing him the match here.Match Rating: E-

We cut backstage to find Chavo Guerrero walking into the office of the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle, who tells Chavo that he shouldn’t worry about what has happened to Vickie Guerrero on Monday Night RAW and her position as Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor, because Chavo’s job on 205 Live is still safe. Chavo asks Hornswoggle what he’s talking about and Hornswoggle says that we will learn more next week on RAW but it looks as though Vickie is done with the WWE and has been relieved of her duties as RAW Managing Supervisor.Rating: D-

Following a commercial break we cut backstage again to find Epico trying to open his lunch box but struggling to do so until Tajiri walks by, takes the lunch box and opens it with ease, leaving Epico looking embarrassed.Rating: E-

Non-Title: WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Uso’s vs. Team Gorgeous (Breeze & Madsen)
Tag team action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown will see the WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso take on the Team Gorgeous pairing of Tyler Breeze and Knuckles Madsen in a non-title match.

Seth Rollins receives a chorus of boos from the WWE Universe in attendance as he retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Rollins says that ever since he was the first ever NXT Champion, over a year ago competing inside the NXT Arena in front of the NXT Universe, he knew that he was destined for greatness. Rollins reminds everyone how at his very first Wrestlemania just a few months ago he defeated the Undertaker to end the Undertaker’s Wrestlemania undefeated streak. Rollins therefore says he isn’t surprised that now he is at the top of the industry as the “man” and the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, that he has Superstars coming at him from so many angles. Rollins says that he understands that the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie wants a marquee title match for Money in the Bank which is why Rollins will put his title on the line in a Fatal Four-Way match against Damien Sandow, Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton. However, says Rollins, he thinks it’s a bit unfair that he has to take on the Irish madman Sheamus in tonight’s non-title main event. The Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie then comes to the entrance-way with a microphone in hand and says that Rollins should make the most of his time in the ring with Sheamus tonight as if Sheamus wins the Money in the Bank ladder match and Rollins remains the WWE Champion after Money in the Bank then Rollins may have to face Sheamus again in the not so distant future.Rating: C-

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus The Miz
Rumours have been running rampant over the past seven days that the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero’s position with the WWE has been taken away and that Vickie Guerrero has in fact left the WWE. This was seemingly confirmed on last week’s edition of 205 Live when the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle told Chavo Guerrero that his position with 205 Live was safe despite Vickie Guerrero’s circumstances. Chavo seemed confused and Hornswoggle said that we should find out more this week on RAW. We do know that tonight’s non-title main event will see the WWE Universal Brock Lesnar in action against the Miz as these two Superstars go head to head for the first time ever. Tonight’s RAW main event should be a treat to the WWE Universe and the Miz has a huge opportunity to gain an all-important victory over the WWE Universal Champion.

Non-Title: WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose versus Evan Bourne
The WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose will be in action tonight on Monday Night RAW as he will take on Evan Bourne just a few weeks before Ambrose will compete in the RAW Money in the Bank ladder match. Tonight’s match with Bourne will be a non-title affair.

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate versus J Bronson
It was three weeks ago on Monday Night RAW that Tyler Bate defeated Danny Burch to become the first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion and last week Danny Burch challenged Bate to a rematch for the UK title at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View. Before Bate faces Burch at Money in the Bank he must first take on J Bronson in non-title action tonight.

Fatsuhiko Nakajima versus Danny Burch

Finally, Divas action tonight on Monday Night RAW will see a huge six-Diva tag team match as the WWE Divas Champion Bayley will team up with Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks to take on the team of Raquel Diaz, Audrey Marie and Kharma. We know that later this month at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Bayley will put her Divas Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against both Raquel Diaz and the former Champion Sasha Banks. With Vickie Guerrero possibly no longer being the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor, will her daughter Raquel Diaz be able to focus tonight?

Pre-Show: Ayako Hamada versus Sexy Star
In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Ayako Hamada defeated Sexy Star in 18:13 by pinfall with a Hamada Driver. Ayako Hamada and Sexy Star fortunately have pretty good chemistry as opponents, and it lifted the match. The WWE Universe aren’t particularly interested by either of these Divas generally despite both competing in matches on Monday Night RAW over the past year, but the chemistry between the two meant that those in attendance didn’t mind the match going so long. Ultimately Ayako Hamada picks up the all-important victory here.Match Rating: E+
